I don't know how memory intensive dmd build, but I think 16 Gb or 
even 32Gb will be better.
It should be either m1 or m4 chip.
I agree that Pro/Max/Ultra versions don't worth it for CPU use 
case - better to have some extra RAM.
Other parameters probably are not important.

Maybe Luna can suggest something as well
